Need more info. What is your budget? How long have you been playing?  You can't just ask us without us knowing about you and your gun.

All stock internals are best. All the other bolts and things will just slow down your performance.

Forget about an expansion chamber, get a Palmers instead, you'll be more happy. Especially if you're using C02. Then a new barrel, Lapco Bigshot is what I'd recommend. Then just play with it from there and see what else you want to change.

Buying a ton of upgrades at the same time isn't a good idea. You'd be better offf playing with it stock for a while. Then after you've used it stock for a while, buy an upgrade that you think will help your game. Doing it that way, you'll notice a bigger change in performance then buying a gun with a whole bunch of ups from the start.

Its really a matter of opinion. Like the DT over the stock trigger? Get one. Don't think a drop foward makes a big difference to you? Save $30 and put it to something else. Play stock untill you get a feel for your gun and develope your taste. if you know some people that have an upgrade you are thinking about getting, try to see if you could shoot theirs to test it out. Good luck and happy shopping.
